Originally created by @mikemaccana on GitHub (Aug 6, 2019).

Windows 10.0.18362.0, Terminal Preview 3.

I needed to add a comment explaining why I'd disabled a config option

This is correct, comments aren't permitted in JSON. Terminal, like vsCode, should use JSONC (whether it has a .json or .jsonc extension):

I know Code and Terminal are different teams but consistency would be good here, and comments are useful.

We actually do allow comments in the json file as of #1005. Dunno why VS Code is tagging the file like that, but they're definitely allowed.

It highlights it like this because things with a .json extension are supposed to be JSON and not JSONC. Adding an exception in VS Code will only fix it there, not for any other editor. The file should be renamed to reflect its real type.

@zadjii-msft The settings.json file of Windows Terminal is not a valid JSON, so it will alert linters in most code editors. Why don't you rename the file to settings.jsonc?
